Puke Bricks Gone!

Part of getting wife to buy into ANY idea (apart from lifting the roof which she stressed from the get-go) was to get rid of the "puke bricks" decorating the front surrounding the garage doors.
So after a little bit of labor of love (=hammer and chisel) the bricks are now gone. Some of the bricks were "wasted" in the process and taking the sledge hammer to tear down the entire wall was one option, but I sort of wanted to keep these bricks for future use, so they are now nicely stacked up for another project (garden paths, planters, you name it).

Also took off some of the old cedar siding as well and managed to put up a few drain lines for the rain that never materialized tonight.

And while digging around also came across the sewer connection and a small access hatch. Good, means I don't have to put one in. Looks dirty, but was amazingly clean and "odor free".
